  1. Bold indicates P-values less than 0.05.
  2. *Comparison between survivor and death groups. The data are presented as median values (interquartile range [IQR]), numbers (%), or mean values (±standard deviation). Categorical variables are expressed as frequency (percent) for P values. Baseline characteristics were compared between the 2 subgroups by univariate analysis using Pearson χ2, distributions of continuous variables were determined by the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Mann–Whitney two sample test was applied in case of non-normal distributions
